Capital punishment

[yankeedoodle]

Has anybody bothered to study their computer, meaning the spell-checker, which tells you the way you are supposed to spell something, including Capitalization.

Why would a spell-checker tell you to Capitalize jew and zionism and buddhist, when it doesn't tell you to Capitalize catholic or protestant or capitalist or nationalist or baptist or presbyterian.

Yankee Doodle has tried this on three different platforms (if that is the right word):  first, on LibreOffice Writer, on Linux; and, then on Google's gmail; and, finally - yes, dear friends - right here on the Info Underground. 

Yes, that's right, our own website tells us to Capitalize jew and zionist and buddhist, but not catholic or protestant or baptist or nationalist or capitalist or presbyterian.

Try it yourself, and scratch your head, and say WHAT THE FUCK?  Who the Hell is doing this, or, maybe, HOW are they doing this?

Is is something embedded in the internet, itself, that dictates this indoctrination via Capitalization?

Anybody have any ideas?  Robert, any ideas?

  "ACCIPERE QUID UT JUSTITIAM FACIAS, NON
   EST TAM ACCIPERE QUAM EXTORQUERE.
   To accept anything as a reward for doing justice
   is rather extorting than accepting. Lofft, 72.
   
   ACCIPITARE. To pay relief to lords of manors.
   Capitali domino accipitare, e., to pay a relief,
   homage, or obedience to the chief lord on becoming
   his vassal. Fleta, lib. 2, c. 50.
   
   ACCOMENDA. In maritime law. A contract between
   the owner of goods and the master of a
   ship, by which the former intrusts the property to
   the latter to be sold by him on their joint account.
   In such case, two contracts take place : First, the contract
   called mandatum, by which the owner of the property
   gives the master power to dispose of it; and the contract
   of partnership, in virtue of which the profits are to be
   divided between them. One party runs the risk of losing
   his capital; the other, his labor. If the sale produces no
   more than first cost, the owner takes all the proceeds. It
   is only the profits which are to be divided. Emerig.Mar.
   Loans, § 5.

p.38

   ACCUMULATED SURPLUS. In statutes relative
   to the taxation of corporations, this term refers
   to the fund which the company has in excess of
   its capital arid liabilities. Trenton Iron Co. v.
   Yard, 42 N.J.Law, 357; People's F. Ins. Co. v.
   Parker, 34 N.J.Law, 479, 35 N.J.Law, 575. See

   ACCUMULATIONS. Increase by continuous or
   repeated additions, or, if taken literally, means
   either profit accruing on sale of principal assets,
   or increase derived from their investment, or
   both. In re Wells' Will, 300 N.Y.S. 1075, 1078,
   165 Misc. 385.
   Adding of interest or income of a fund to principal
   pursuant to provisions of a will or deed,
   preventing its being expended. In re Watson's
   Will, 258 N.Y.S. 755, 144 Misc. 213.
   When an executor or other trustee masses the rents,
   dividends, and other income which he receives, treats it as
   a capital, invests it, makes a new capital of the income
   derived therefrom, invests that, and so on, he is said to
   accumulate the fund, and the capital and accrued income
   thus procured constitute accumulations. Hussey v. Sargent,
   116 Ky. 53, 75 S.W. 211, In re Rogers' Estate, 179
   Pa. 609, 36 A. 340. See Perpetuity.

   ACT OF INSOLVENCY. Within the meaning of
   the national currency act, an act which shows a
   bank to be insolvent, such as nonpayment of its
   circulating notes, bills of exchange, or certificates
   of deposit; failure to make good the impairment
   of capital, or to keep good its surplus or reserve;
   in fact, any act which shows that the bank is
   unable to meet its liabilities as they mature, or to
   perform those duties which the law imposes for
   the purpose of sustaining its credit. Hayden v.
   Chemical Nat. Bank, C.C.A.N.Y., 84 Fed. 874, 28

   depreciation results in the "adjusted cost basis."
   Herder v. Helvering, 106 F.2d 153, 162, 70 App.D.
   C. 287.

p.72

   ADVANCE, v. To pay money or render other
   value before it is due; to furnish something before
   an equivalent is received; to loan; to furnish
   capital in aid of a projected enterprise, in expectation
   of return from it. Powell v. Allan, 70 Cal.
   App. 663, 234 P. 339, 344. To supply beforehand;

   furnished on credit; a loan, or gift or
   money advanced to be repaid conditionally; may.
   be equivalent to "pay." In re Altman's Will, Sur.,
   6 N.Y.S.2d 972, 975.
   An agreement to "advance" money for personal property
   implies a loan with property as pledge, rather than a payment
   of purchase money in sale. Shelley v. Byers, 73 Cal.
   App. 44, 238 P. 177, 182.

p.103

   ALTER EGO. Second self. 3 C.J.S. Alter Ego.
   Theory that subordinate or servient corporation may be
   controlled by superior or dominant corporation, so that
   dominant corporation may be held liable for subordinate
   corporation's negligence. Barnes v. Liebig, 146 Fla. 219, 1
   So.2d 247, 253.
   To establish the "alter ego" doctrine, it must be shown
   that the stockholders disregarded the entity of the corporation,
   made corporation a mere conduit for the transaction
   of their own private business, and that the separate
   individualities of the corporation and its stockholders in
   fact ceased to exist. Sefton v. San Diego Trust & Savings
   Bank, Cal.App., 106 P.2d 974, 984.
   The doctrine of "alter ego" does not create assets for
   or in corporation, but it simply fastens liability on the
   individual who uses the corporation merely as an instrumentality
   in conducting his own personal business, and
   that liability springs from fraud perpetrated not on the
   corporation, but on third persons dealing with corporation.
   Garvin v. Matthews, 193 Wash. 152, 74 P.2d 990, 992.
   A new corporation taking over all of mortgaged assets of
   old corporation in exchange for all of old corporation's
   capital stock and continuing to operate business formerly
   operated by old corporation was "alter ego" of old corporation
   so as to be obligated to pay annual patent royalty
   which old corporation was required to pay, notwithstanding
   that old corporation retained title to mortgaged assets.
   Dummer v. Wheeler Osgood Sales Corp., 198 Wash. 381, 88
   P.2d 453, 458.

p.119

   ANTICHRESIS. In the civil law. A species of
   mortgage, or pledge of immovables. An agreement
   by which the debtor gives to the creditor the
   income from the property which he has pledged,
   in lieu of the interest on his debt. Guyot, Repert;
   Marquise De Portes v. Hurlbut. 44 N.J.Eq. 517, 14
   A. 891. It is analogous to the Welsh mortgage of
   the common law. In the French law, if the income
   was more than the interest, the debtor was
   entitled to demand an account of the income, and
   might claim any excess.
   A debtor may give as security for his debt any
   immovable which belongs to him, the creditor having
   the right to enjoy the use of it on account of
   the interest due, or of the capital if there is no
   interest due; this is called "antichresis." Civ.
   Code Mex. art. 1927.
   By the law of Louisiana, there are two kinds of
   pledges,—the pawn and the antichresis. A pawn
   relates to movables, and the antichresis to immovables.
   The antichresis must be reduced to
   writing; and the creditor thereby acquires the
   right to the fruits, etc., of the immovables, deducting
   yearly their proceeds from the interest,
   in the first place, and afterwards from the principal
   of his debt. He is bound to pay taxes on the
   property, and keep it in repair, unless the contrary
   is agreed. The creditor does not become the
   proprietor of the property by failure to pay at the
   agreed time, and any clause to that effect is void.
   He can only sue the debtor, and obtain sentence
   for sale of the property. The possession of the
   property is, however, by the contract, transferred
   to the creditor. La.Civil Code, Arts. 3176-3181;
   Livingston v. Story, 11 Pet. 351, 9 L.Ed. 746.
   The "antichresis" is an antiquated contract, and
   has been resorted to in Louisiana in but a few
   instances. Harang v. Ragan, 134 La. 201, 63 So.
   875, 877. Essential element of contract, Conklin
   v. Caffall, 179 So. 434, 437, 438, 439, 189 La. 301.

p.132

   APPROVEMENT. At ancient common law a
   practice of criminal prosecutions by which a person
   accused of treason or felony was permitted
   to exonerate himself by accusing others and escaping
   prosecution himself. Lee v. State, 115
   Fla. 30, 155 So. 123; Guthrie v. Commonwealth,
   171 Va. 461, 198 S.E. 481, 482, 119 A.L.R. 683.
   The custom existed only in capital cases, and consisted in
   the accused, called "approver", being arraigned and permitted
   to confess before plea and appeal or accuse another
   as his accomplice of the same crime in order to obtain his
   pardon.

p.137

   AREOPAGITE. In ancient Greek law. A lawyer
   or chief judge of the Areopagus in capital matters
   in Athens; a tribunal so called after a hill or
   slight eminence, in a street of that city dedicated
   to Mars, where the court was held in which those
   judges were wont to sit. Wharton.

p.144

   ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION, OR OF INCORPORATION.
   Articles subscribed by the members
   of a joint-stock company or corporation organized
   under a general law, and which create the corporate
   union between them. Such articles are in
   the nature of a partnership agreement, and commonly
   specify the form of organization, amount
   of capital, kind of business to be pursued, location
   of the company, etc. Articles of association are
   to be distinguished from a charter, in that the latter
   is a grant of power from the sovereign or the
   legislature.

p.162

   Bill of Attainder
   A legislative act, directed against a designated
   person, pronouncing him guilty of an alleged
   crime, (usually treason,) without trial or conviction
   according to the recognized rules of procedure,
   and passing sentence of death and attainder
   upon him.
   "Bills of attainder," as they are technically called, are
   such special acts of the legislature as inflict capital punishments
   upon persons supposed to be guilty of high offenses,
   such as treason and felony, without any conviction in the
   ordinary course of judicial proceedings. If an act inflicts
   a milder degree of punishment than death, it is called a
   "bill of pains and penalties," but both are included in the
   prohibition in the Federal constitution. Losier v. Sherman,
   157 Kan. 153, 138 P.2d 272, 273; State v. Graves, 352
   Mo. 1102, 182 S.W.2d 46, 54.

p.184

   —Bank stock. Shares in the capital of a bank;
   shares in the property of a bank. In England the
   term is applied chiefly to the stock of the Bank
   of England.

p.200-201

   BENEFIT OF CLERGY. In its original sense, the
   phrase denoted the exemption which was accorded
   to clergymen from the jurisdiction of the secular
   courts, or from arrest or attachment on criminal
   process issuing from those courts in certain particular
   cases. Afterwards, it meant a privilege of
   exemption from the punishment of death accorded
   to such persons as were clerks, or who could
   read. This privilege of exemption from capital
   punishment was anciently allowed to clergymen
   only, but afterwards to all who were connected
   with the church, even to its most subordinate officers,
   and at a still later time to all persons who
   could read, (then called "clerks,") whether ecclesiastics
   or laymen. It does not appear to have
   been extended to cases of high treason, nor did
   it apply to mere misdemeanors. The privilege
   was claimed after the person's conviction, by a
   species of motion in arrest of judgment, technically
   called "praying his clergy." As a means of
   testing his clerical character, he was given a
   psalm to read, (usually, or always, the fifty-first,)
   and, upon his reading it correctly, he was turned
   over to the ecclesiastical courts, to be tried by the
   bishop or a jury of twelve clerks. These heard
   him on oath, with his witnesses and compurga-
   tors, who attested their belief in his innocence.
   This privilege operated greatly to mitigate the extreme
   rigor of the criminal laws, but was found to
   involve such gross abuses that parliament began
   to enact that certain crimes should be felonies
   "without benefit of clergy," and finally, by St. 7
   Geo. IV. c. 28, § 6, it was altogether abolished.
   The act of congress of April 30, 1790, c. 9, § 31, 1
   Stat. 119, provided that there should be no benefit
   of clergy for any capital crime against the United
   States, and, if this privilege formed a part of the
   common law of the several states before the Revolution,
   it no longer exists.

p.218

   BLOOD MONEY. A weregild, or pecuniary mulct
   paid by a slayer to the relatives of his victim. Also
   used, in a popular sense, as descriptive of money
   paid by way of reward for the apprehension
   and conviction of a person charged with a capital
   crime.

[Christopher Marlowe]

There is also a meaning of "catholic" that is not religious; "catholic" means "universal".  (The Catholic Church is the universal Christian Church.  Prior to protestantism, (and the Orthodox schism), all Christians believed the same things.)

Similarly, "protestant" also has a meaning that is secular; a protestant is one who protests.

Buddhism does not have a secular meaning. Neither does Moslem.
There are secular meanings to "jew", but all of these would probably be considered "anti-semitic"; e.g. "He wanted a hundred dollars, but I jewed him down to fifty."

The point I am making is that the spell checker will recognize that there is a secular meaning to those words and will not decide that the non-capitalized version is necessarily incorrect.
